Hosea 14
1 Israel, convert to the Lord your God. For you have been ruined by your own iniquity.
Ry Isiraely ô, miverena amin’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao, fa lavon-keloka ianao.
2 Take these words with you and return to the Lord. And say to him, “Remove all iniquity and accept the good. And we will repay the calves of our lips.
Mitondrà teny ianareo, eny, miverena amin’ i Jehovah, ka manaova aminy hoe: Mamelà ny heloka rehetra, ary raiso izay tsara, ka dia haterinay ho fanatitra ny molotray.
3 Assur will not save us; we will not ride on horses. Neither will we say any more, ‘The works of our hands are our gods,’ for those that are in you will have mercy on the orphan.”
Asyria tsy hamonjy anay, tsy hitaingin-tsoavaly izahay sady tsy hiteny amin’ ny asan’ ny tananay intsony hoe: Ry Andriamanitray ô; Fa ao aminao no ahitan’ ny kamboty famindram-po.
4 I will heal their contrition; I will love them spontaneously. For my wrath has been turned away from them.
Hositraniko ny fiodinany, ho tia azy tsy vozonana Aho; Fa efa niala taminy ny fahatezerako.
5 I will be like the dew; Israel will spring forth like the lily, and his root will spread out like that of the cedars of Lebanon.
Ho tahaka ny ando Aho amin’ ny Isiraely; Hamony tahaka ny lilia izy, ary hamaka tahaka an’ i Libanona.
6 His branches will advance, and his glory will be like the olive tree, and his fragrance will be like that of the cedars of Lebanon.
Hisandrahaka ny rantsany, ho tahaka ny an’ ny hazo oliva ny hatsaran-tarehiny, ary ho tahaka ny an’ i Libanona ny hanitra avy aminy.
7 They will be converted, sitting in his shadow. They will live on wheat, and they will grow like a vine. His memorial will be like the wine of the cedars of Lebanon.
Izay mipetraka ao ambanin’ ny alokalony dia hampahavokatra vary indray, ary haniry tahaka ny voaloboka izy; Ny lazany ho tahaka ny an’ ny divay avy any Libanona.
8 Ephraim will say, “What are idols to me anymore?” I will listen to him, and I will set him straight like a healthy spruce tree. Your fruit has been found by me.
Ry Efraima ô, hataoko inona intsony izay sampy? Izaho dia efa nihaino ka nitsinjo anao; Tahaka ny hazo kypreso maitso Aho, avy amiko no hahazoana ny vokatrao.
9 Who is wise and will understand this? Who has understanding and will know these things? For the ways of the Lord are straight, and the just will walk in them, but truly, the traitors will fall in them.
Iza no hendry mba hahafantatra izany zavatra izany? Na manan-tsaina mba hahalala izany? Fa mahitsy ny lalan’ i Jehovah, ary ny marina no mizotra eny aminy; Fa ny mpanota kosa dia tafintohina eny aminy.
